BoomChild is back with their new single, "Evil Eyes," a deeply emotional track that showcases their soft side. Known for their energetic and genre-blending style, this time they are focusing on honesty and heartfelt feelings rather than bravado.
"Evil Eyes" unfolds like a late-night chat you didn't expect but needed to have. The music is warm and smooth, featuring easy-going bass and tight drumming, crafted by the talented producer 9th Wonder. The gentle piano adds an atmospheric touch, creating a space where emotions can take center stage. The song addresses a challenging moment in a relationship when trust begins to erode and the person you once knew seems distant and unrecognizable. Instead of shying away from this uncomfortable truth, BoomChild embraces it, allowing space for real feelings to come to light. "Evil Eyes" doesn't aim to fix the situation but instead acknowledges it and encourages honesty. The depth of the song resonates even more when you know the background of BoomChild. Formed from late-night conversations and spontaneous jam sessions, the six friends, Charbel, Rico, Finbar, Ben, Riley, and James, bring a mix of styles to their music. Their journey began with home recordings and now features sessions on the road, reflecting their strong bond and a do-it-yourself spirit that feels refreshingly genuine in today's world of overly polished music.
While "Evil Eyes" explores softer sounds compared to some of their earlier work, it still retains that signature BoomChild groove. It feels tight yet relaxed, much like a group of friends who have not only played music together for years but have grown up alongside one another.
